Papua New Guinea is one of the least developed countries on the planet, home to tribes who have had limited contact with the ‘outside’ world, if at all. This has given it a reputation for somewhat wild frontier land. Politically, the country seems to perpetually border on melt down between rival groups. Formerly an Australian colony, Papua New Guinea’s economy continues to be heavily influenced by its large antipodean neighbour.
Based in Simbu, Papua New Guinea's third largest coffee producing province. Kong Coffee is Simbu's premier coffee company and have access to most of our farmer's annual coffee production.
‘Y’ grade : The bulk of coffee exports (abt. 65%) from Papua New Guinea are classified under this export grade, which is produced by village small-holders from the wilderness of the Western & Eastern Highlands heading south into the lower altitudes of Lae and Popondetta. The coffee has traditionally had a full bodied fruity character, making it an excellent base for blending.
